Developing Aesthetic Judgement: Art History in the Context of Adult Education.
Brown, Kathryn; Brownhill, Robert
International Journal of Lifelong Education, v17 n1 p41-50 Jan-Feb 1998
In considering whether adult art history education should focus on developing expertise or transferable skills, the nature of aesthetic judgment is examined through the teaching of Italian Renaissance art. Concludes that development of visual awareness has wider educational value in its applicability to the assessment and critique of the social environment. (SK)
